In a newly surfaced video, former President Donald Trump speaks frankly about his rival Joe Biden. The way he criticizes the incumbent US President is tough stuff.
Did Donald Trump know he was being filmed? Even if he did, he probably didn’t care. He has never been a man of choice words. In any case, a video published by the US website “Daily Beast” shows the former US president sitting on a golf cart and slandering his successor Joe Biden. Trump calls him a “run-down pile of trash” after his weak performance in the TV debate. Biden is close to giving up the race for the presidency, Trump said. “I took him out of the race – and that means we have Kamala.”
In contrast, he almost raves about Chinese ruler Xi Jinping, calling him “a wild man, a very tough guy” who Biden might not be able to handle. “That’s a bad guy,” Trump says, apparently referring to Biden. After announcing that the president is giving up and passing the baton to Kamala Harris, Trump continues: “I think she’ll be a better opponent,” adding: “She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic.”

Then Trump returns to Biden: “But they just announced he’s probably quitting,” he says. “Just keep beating him up, huh?” A little later, the video ends.
After his TV debacle against challenger Donald Trump, US President Joe Biden is fighting on all fronts to save his candidacy. “I had a bad evening. And the fact is that I messed up, that I made a mistake,” said the Democrat in a radio interview. The next few days will show whether he still has enough support from the Democrats. Despite the US President’s weak performance, the verdict on him in his party is likely to be much milder than that of Donald Trump.
